Jungle horrors have a fairly low number of Hitpoints for their combat level and appear to be weak to Ranged and Stab attacks. Players with medium level defence are advised to bring food (lobsters or better) as well as armour to negate the jungle horror's relatively accurate melee attacks.

Alternatively a player with high defence level can sustain by cutting the commonly dropped pineapples. Simply bring a knife to cut the pineapples into pineapple slices. This will heal 8 hit points per pineapple.
